BILL-FILE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,045, dated November22, 1881.

Application filed March 10, 1881.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. PEL'IIER a citizen of the United States,resident at Faribault, in the county of Rice and State of Minnesota,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bill-Files and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference markedthereon which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a representation of a front view. Fig. 2 is a rear view, andFig. 3 is a sectional view.

This invention relates to improvements in devices for filing away bills,prescriptions, &c.

The invention consists in the construction hereinafter set forth andclaimed.

In the annexed drawings, A represents a strip of sheet metal-tinpreferably. The edge a is bent around a rod, B, having hook I). In thisstrip, at the other edge, are made the transverse parallel cuts 0,vforming the short strips 0. Thenumber ofthese short strips may vary,one hundred (100)being the best. The strip A (No model.

is bent length wise, so as to turn the short strips in upon the uncutportion, forming a channel between the two. The papers are placed withone edge in this channel. They are held by punching holesz in the shortstrips 0, and the corner of the papers coming under the strips. In thisway onepaper after another is punched in until all the strips 0 areused. When filled the strips A can be filed away in any manner. Ahorizontal wire can be stretched and the strips hooked over it. A tagcan be hung on at every thousand, so that the strip wanted can bequickly found. The papers in each strip are to be numbered and thefigures continued on from strip to strip.

What I claim is A device for file-papers, consisting in a rod,

B, having a hook, I), at one end, and a sheet of metal, A, bent aroundsaid rod, and having the transverse strips 0, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES H. PELTIER.
